Media Registration

Media badges give you access to the NAMM Press Room at the show, all exhibits, NAMM University Breakfast Sessions and Idea Center Sessions as well as some exhibitor-sponsored events.

Proceed to Online Media Registration

Note: Submitting an online registration form does not guarantee credentials. All applicants are subject to approval.

In response to exhibitor and media comments, NAMM is implementing a stricter credentialing process for editorial press this year. Our high standards for media registration will help ensure that you have enough access to media services you need, making it easier for you to do your job. If you have any questions about this process, please see the details below or contact Scott Robertson, NAMM's director of marketing and communications, at scottr@namm.org or 800-767-NAMM.

NAMM defines "media" as follows:
Any writer, photographer, editor or producer with a specific editorial assignment to cover the show for a media outlet that is related to the music products industry. (This includes all media outlets that regularly cover musical instruments, products and NAMM Member companies.) Note: Consumer media outlets (national print, TV, radio) will be admitted on a case-by-case basis.

NOTE: All advertising sales representatives, publishers and marketing staff employed by media outlets will not be admitted to the show as media. Depending on the type of business, these individuals can apply for NAMM Membership.

On-Site Media Registration

Media who choose not to pre-register online for media badges may register at show site by visiting the NAMM Press Room located inside the lobby of the Anaheim Convention Center. Media registering on show site need to bring a photo ID, a business card and a letter of assignment from the editor outlining how the show will be covered, to the Press Room inside the convention center lobby during on-site media registration hours.
